Other topics this week include numismatic literature on ancient coins, numismatic database web sites, International Nickel Co. private patterns, the Carnegie Hero Fund centennary medal, numismatic job openings, the Chapman coin and medal cabinet, a fantasy Confederate ID tag, hunting scenes on coins and medals, a long-lost 1894-S dime, and Gene Simmons' "gold" coin.

To learn more about Instagram, Chief Coiner Franklin Peale's noisy sofa, NGC's Coin Explorer, auction catalog image-based search, Indian Peace Medals, Krause Publications cataloguer Colin R. Bruce II, medallist Luigi Badia, Albanian regimenal medals, whipper-ins, artist Santiago Montoya, and the Suicide Silver Dollar, read on.

By the way, we've had some good responses to Pablo Hoffman's numismatic Travel Quiz, but I'm running behind and will postpone publishing the answers. So you've got another week to try your hand at it. It's challenging and fun. For more information, see:
